Atlas of the European Novel Reviews
With intellectual elegance, Moretti invites us to use maps, not as all-encompassing solutions, but as generators of ideas. -- Umberto Eco
Moretti ... is a seductive, stylish guide. One has the powerful sense of reading the results of concentrated thought: every page contains an aphoristic insight ... The reader is smuggled across borders that flash by in the dark ... The Atlas of the European Novel is a wonderful achievement: a visual pleasure as much as a textual one; a work in the vanguard of a new critical school that marries grand theory with a punctuating wit. -- Steven Poole * The Guardian *
A genuine and useful and inspired work of aesthetic investigation ... it will have a massive importance, not only to critics, but more importantly, to writers. * New York Press *
. . . a frequently brilliant and almost always eye-opening book. * Washington City Paper *
